5 thrifty makeovers

Hello diy beautify readers! I'm Christy and I blog at Confessions of a Serial Do-it-Yourselfer. Thanks to Cindy for inviting me to hang out here while she is in the process of moving! Cindy and I both love finding thrifty ways to decorate our homes. Today I'm sharing a few of my thrifty makeovers with you. Let's start with this antique mirror I found at the thrift store for $10:

The mirror had become really scratched and was super heavy, so I replaced it with a chalkboard and added hooks for a little added function:

 A little paint went a long way to give this dated cabinet a coastal cottage makeover:

A new paint job, a French script stencil, and some pretty paper turned this chest into a romantic jewelry box.

Wow, right?

I told you that Christy always delivers an amazing (and thrifty) makeover, and today we were lucky enough to get 5! I never would have thought of repurposing a flatware chest as a jewelry box...and Christy's drop cloth rosettes have been on my to-do list for quite a while!

I hope you are inspired to turn your own thrifty finds into fabulous treasures for your home!
